AirPods and Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphones or speakers are two popular audio devices, but they are designed to connect independently to a Bluetooth source device, not with each other. Here's a guide to help you understand how they work and explore possible ways to connect them.

Connecting AirPods

AirPods pair with Apple devices or any Bluetooth-enabled device individually over Bluetooth. They use Bluetooth 5.0 technology and have a W1 chip for easy pairing with Apple devices.

Connecting Audio-Technica Bluetooth Devices

Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphones or speakers also pair directly to source devices independently. Some Audio-Technica devices support Bluetooth connectivity and can pair with AirPods, while not all devices are compatible due to lack of Bluetooth technology.

Connecting AirPods to Audio-Technica Equipment

While AirPods cannot connect directly to Audio-Technica headphones or speakers, there are workarounds. You can use a Bluetooth transmitter to connect AirPods to Audio-Technica turntables, or use an audio interface to connect AirPods to a computer, which can then be connected to Audio-Technica turntables.

Sharing Audio Output

If you want to share audio output from one device to both AirPods and Audio-Technica headphones simultaneously, certain computers (like Macs) allow creating a multi-output device via software. This is done on the source device’s end, not by connecting AirPods and Audio-Technica devices directly to each other.

Important Considerations

  • Using a third-party Bluetooth transmitter or audio interface should be done with caution to ensure compatibility and prevent damage to either device.
  • Connecting AirPods to Audio-Technica equipment should not void the warranty on either device.

Alternatives

If you find that your Audio-Technica device doesn't support Bluetooth or doesn't pair with AirPods, alternative connection methods include using a wired connection or a Bluetooth adapter. Alternatively, you could consider wireless headphones or earbuds specifically designed for Audio-Technica equipment.

Checking Compatibility

To determine if your Audio-Technica device can connect to AirPods, check for Bluetooth 4.0 or higher in the device's specifications, a pairing mode or button, and consult the device's user manual or manufacturer's website for specific pairing instructions.

In conclusion, AirPods and Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphones or speakers will each connect separately and exclusively to a Bluetooth source device, but they cannot connect directly to each other. However, with the right equipment and setup, you can enjoy audio from both devices simultaneously.
